Registration Now Open for Sunbelt Builders' Show

Registration is now open for the annual Sunbelt Builders Show (SBS), which draws builders and industry suppliers from across the country to see what’s new in this region’s booming housing market.

The 2005 Sunbelt Builders Show will be held Oct. 12-15 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas. The Convention Center is six miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and features a variety of facilities ― seven restaurants, an onsite spa, golf at the adjacent Cowboys Golf Course and more ― to ensure every guest enjoys their stay.

More than 300 exhibitors are expected to attend. The show also will feature a variety of NAHB designation courses, including:

  • Scheduling
  • Quality Construction
  • Builder Assessment Review
  • Professional Remodeler Experience Profile
  • Onsite Project Management
  • Financial Management


The courses are offered by the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association (GFWBA), the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) and NAHB and include a free expo-only pass to the 2005 SBS.

Some of the special events planned at SBS include an EPA/OSHA conclave in which attendees can talk with OSHA and EPA representatives from Region 6, the Excellence in Leadership Dinner, a Star Awards recognition ceremony and a two-hour Delaney Vineyard wine tour.

The show will again feature a Harley Davidson giveaway to one lucky attendee. Attendees can fill out as many entry forms for the motorcycle as they like. The winner will be chosen after the exhibit floor closes on Saturday, Oct. 15.

For more information or to register online, visit www.SunbeltBuildersShow.com. Sign up today and receive a $50 Early Bird registration discount.

The Sunbelt Builders Show is produced and managed by NAHB, which owns and manages the largest annual home building event, the International Builders’ Show.
